Chariots of Fire: Inspiration

"I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure" (Eric Liddell)

I'm certainly not a runner, but I have had a recurring dream about running and God's pleasure – I would say 3 maybe 4 times that I can remember.

I am running on green grass, in a hilly area.
The earth is new, the sky is blue and fresh, sometimes I can see the ocean in the distance.
I don’t see me, just what is within my sight, and I feel the sensation of running – free, and with ease.
It seems God’s presence is with me, and He seems as delighted as I am.

However, in my waking hours, sometimes, (many times) I feel more like this quote from the other athlete.

"I'm forever in pursuit and I don't even know what I am chasing" (Harold M. Abrahams)

These times, perhaps I am seeing more of "me" and less of what is in the scope of my vision.

Even before I joined the church, I felt that God somehow gets an earthly experience through our experiences, our pursuits, our feelings. He is feeling what we feel, whether we are running free in His presence, or in desperate pursuit of something we don't even know what or why, while all along He is right there with us.
